Are you afraid?

Are you afraid?
I have recently been lucky enough to start working as an
intern coach with the Dax Moy, the u.k’s number one
fitness coach.

Dax is a real dynamo and just bursting with ideas. To say
that I am very happy and excited would be an almighty
understatement!

Dax was addressing some of his team on Friday, and the
things he was saying really challenged me and were scary!

You see, what really stunned me, was the fact that here I
was (little ole me!) listening to a man who charges, and
gets, £130 an hour for his personal coaching
services, has two successfull fitness studios, copies of
his magic 100 book (check it out for yourself) sold over
$100,000 in nine days!, has a personal mentoring system
where people pay just under three thousand pounds to listen
to Dax speak, plus many more achievements too numerous to
go into here, was basically telling us (and me!) how we can
do the same, and for free! Wow!

Come on. This is amazing. I could hardly believe it. But
you know what? I got scared. First I got excited though. I
mean, so enthused with the power of opportunity and
potential I saw, that I started tapping my toes, and
“jiggling” my pen, I couldn’t stay still!
I felt the energy (or for those of you that remember the
adventures of He-Man, “ I have the power!”.)
But then, it slowly dawned on me.

I thought to myself, (cue thought bubbles) this is really
it, it’s now or never. This really is my chance. I
can make a positive difference. “My boat has come
in”, or “my numbers have come up!”,
whatever cliché you want to use, I felt it in that
moment.

I realised that I was scared, not really of failure
(besides, not really believing we “fail” at
anything, only not giving our all or of not being commited
enough, or it just was not meant to be) because I’m
techniqualy “failing” all ready as I’m
not at that level yet, but I’m actually more scared
of success! How absurd!

The very thing I think about all the time, the dreams I
have, the ease at which I picture myself living, these
things I was actually, at some level, scared to achieve!

This really provoked me and challenged me, as I’m
sure you can imagine. I promised myself that, there could
be no more excuses, if I can’t learn from the number
1 guy in my industry, who can I learn from?!

At this very point in time I, indeed, all of us, can make
active choices to change our lot in life. Yeah, I know,
life gets “messy” . There will always be
“something” stopping us. By crikey, at the time
of writing, I’ve recently become engaged, and moving
into a new property and have started working for Dax Moy,
all after a nasty motorcar accident on the motorway!

I really feel that we get these
“pointer’s” or “turning
points” in life. It is up to us to both recognize
them and then to take action. I challenge you then, dear
reader, as I do myself, let us put off greatness any
longer. Throw off the shackles of doubt and restraint, let
us walk as giants above men, let us seize opportunity and
realise joy and prosperity.

And why not? Why not you, living in plenty and abundance?
Why not you, and me, being happy in our work and our
lives? I think we have all been putting our greatest selves
on hold for too long now. I for one, will no longer.

It is an exciting time friends. It is a good time to be
alive. Let us be positive, help each other where we can and
strive for excellence (Dax told me that excellence is
becoming better, bit by bit, day by day, cheers Dax!) for
time is short so we must now go for it.

I hope this call to action has inspired you, it certainly
has done for me!

I wish you nothing but the very best of success, now, and
in the very near future. Keep in touch, and tell me your
highs and achievements along your path to greatness.

We can all learn from each other. Dream greatly, dare
yourself to achieve, believe you are special (we all are
you know) and enjoy this amazing dance of life.

To your success and happiness.
